Dolly's library

I was disappointed that your interview of Dolly Parton (G2, Monday) made no mention of the singer's Imagination Library project, which delivers free books to under-fives every month. She launched the project in the UK in Rotherham in 2007, where it currently has 13,000 children – 85% of the under-5 population – signed up, and has since spread to Sheffield, Luton, Nottingham and Wigan.

• While I agree that the march by the EDL should be banned, I am concerned by the use of policing costs to justify such a ban (Letters, 24 August). The cost of policing a demonstration should never be a factor in determining whether a ban is appropriate. The EDL march should be banned on the grounds that its purpose is to incite racism, fear and division.

• A half-page advert exclaiming "See the fräuleins with the big jugs!" (24 August)? So you need advertising money, but surely you have some discretion as to the content? It's not the Sun, and it's not funny.

• I was interested to read that aerodrome is an extinct word (Report, 22 August). This comes as a surprise to us in South Nutfield, as we have an aerodrome with grass runways. It was used during the second world war and now is home to light aircraft. The owners want to make the aerodrome itself extinct. They would like to have an airport with hard runways, increased traffic, and possibly executive jets. We in the village will be encouraging the resuscitation of aerodrome as a viable word and entity.

• Well, Char-a-banc has not disappeared in the world of omnibus restoration. It specifically refers to a coach with "banks" of seats, and not the way many people use it for any coach (as opposed to a bus). Until recently most of my relatives would say they were going on a "chara" trip, in this case rather inaccurately.
